Helping words to get through life

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' "

First Broken Bone....

Well it finally happened....Keyton has broken a bone!! 3 nights ago we where over at my Mom and Dad's for dinner. The kids where all playing in the living room running and being silly. I was in the kitchen with Mom talking and helping with Keyton's noodles for dinner. Then all of the sudden Keyton is screaming! He comes walking into the kitchen holding his head first thing i check is for blood...good there was none. Then I ask Paisley what happened, she tells me that he fell into the fireplace and hit his head on the brick. Ok so then I start looking for bumps....found it on his cheek there was a good little bump there. Did not look to bad you could see where he hit the corner of the brick and it went from the side of his nose to the end of the cheek. We iced it and watched him the rest of the night. Got in the car to leave and took so pics of this not swollen red spot that was starting to blue up. I was starting to worry but Tryon and I decided to wait til the morning before rushing off just to see how he was. Well in the morning he looked bad his eye was half swollen shut and the bruising was looking bad. He also did not sleep the best that night and now his breathing was not the best. So after I dropped Paisley off at school I called a friend who is a nurse for so advice just to see what she thought. She said she would take him in just to see and to make sure his breathing was ok. So off we go and of course they push all over it and Keyton is mad and screaming they check everything even his neck form the impact and all. Breathing was good, neck great, eyes slow but fine, swelling bad, nose bad, check bad....X-rays come back and he has a hair line fracture in his cheek. Not the best then they tell me he has a concussion also. Ok really not good but there was nothing they could do for him but watch him for infection or major head trauma. Then they also say his nose maybe dislocated at the top of the cartilage but again nothing they can do...if it is he will start waking up with blood in the nose. Ok well this morning he did so Check that one off too...dislocated nose. OH my POOR guy...fractured cheek, dislocated nose, and a concussion not a good way to spend Valentines Day.

He is doing better than I thought with the pain. He does not understand needs to sit still most of the day and ends up hurting it or just feeling bad later. He is not sleeping good with it and has to be propped up on two pillows to try and sleep. It looks like it hurts to me and makes me sad we can not do anything for him. I wish we could. :(

Pics of all 3 days so far...they told me the bruising would get worst as it comes to the surface.

Night of...
Sleeping in the car on the way to get daddy 3 hours after.


At the house after fighting him to change clothes...this has become my new challenge...dressing him with out hitting it or touching it.


close up of the starting of the bruise.

Next day after the doc. almost 24 hours later. bad swelling

top view..the camera did not capture the bruising under the surface that shows in just the right light
close up poor poor guy


Today...day 3 showing me it hurts to smile now

looking normal that eye is giving him problems with walking and doing stuff because of the limited vision from the swelling
Today after trying to play with the boys we watch the pain is getting to him...the new bruising coming up to the surface
eating showing me the blood in his nose and trying to open his eye wide
He is tired of me trying to take pics all the time..his face always looks pulled down on that side thanks to the swelling.

Will be a long recovery but hoping for the best and no infections please he needs to be better and someone needs to get him a bubble please!

Long time...

So sorry it has been so long. Here are some of the things my little babies have been up to...

Brezlyn had her first Birthday on Jan. 12!!! Can't believe that she is this big already!!! She loved the cake...LOL she dug in and eat so much of it and looked crazy with icing all over her face. She had a Bee party and my mom found a bee small cake and that was just for her. She then had a quick bath in moms sink and loved that even more. Now every time we run water in the sink she wants in to take a bath. LOL A few days latter on the 18 or so she started walking!!! OMG finally have one walk before 13 months. She loves it she still crawls more but is walking so good..I am one proud Mommy. I did get a little sad that she would not walk to me she took her first steps to Paisley. Paisley loved it and it was really cute to watch but I missed the sweet baby walking to me. Oh well she is walking and that is all that really matters. So Brezlyn is talking so well she amazes me every day and how smart she is blows me away. Love hearing her laugh and playing with big bro and sis. She fallows Paisley around all the time and I love this sister thing it is really sweet. (Cute story) Miss Bee has really learned to stick up for her self... On her b-day party Keyton was trying to take a toy from her. He was really pulling and she was getting really upset. He did get it from her and as he tried to run off she grabbed his pant leg and he went down. All I could do is laugh so hard. She crawled away like nothing happened. LOL she will be one tough girl.

Keyton is pretty much potty trained with some back wards movement but we are all but there. I am so happy that he is. He is happy and excited! He is the sweetest big brother and loves to feed his baby sis. He does not like to see her upset and is going to protect her so much and that warms my heart. He is so sweet and is learning his numbers and NOW he knows how to spell his name....All u do is say hey Keyton how do u spell keyton...He says...K-E-Y-T-O-N. I am so happy that he can do this at 2 almost 3. He is growing so much and is still just as big as his big sis. Good news his teeth are all great and never abscessed!!! SO excited about that. He does go back in this week just to make sure but for now it is looking like a perfect recovery. He had his first hand burger this last month, his first biscuit and grilled cheese. LOL poor guy but he loved them so much and was so excited and confused. With the hand burger he asked me how he eats it and then was so excited to be just like everyone else. He made up a fairy tale "Once upon a time Paisley was a tooter princess and she lived in a tooter castle." I was laughing so hard. Then Paisley added " it was on a tooter mountain where everyone toots all the time." Oh what they come up with

Paisley is getting big and so smart it is crazy. She can have adult conversations with me and Tryon to where u would never guess how old she is. She is really taking to learning sign language and Spanish. It is amazing...we told her the name of one of the workers at Rosa's new baby ( Azul) and she said they named her blue. I was so proud, she also wants to learn all the time ans ask question about everything and anything. She is also teaching Keyton every day when she gets home. She now carries Brezlyn around the house (it scares me) and they both love it. She helps out so much and loves helping bee get around the house. She will push her on the car or help her get on the jumping zebra. I love to watch them play and how sweet she is to her baby sis. I am enjoying it because I know it will not last long before Paisley does not want anything to do with her.

Loving my family and the adventures we are taking.
